The Weir @ the Irish Repertory Theatre
The Play: The Weir, a lovely revival of the now-classic play about a group of people who gather in a pub in a rural part of Ireland where they tell ghost stories that gradually evolve into confessions about the things they truly fear
Written by: Conor McPherson Directed by: CiarĂ¡n O’Reilly
One good thing: Three of the cast members have played their roles before in earlier productions and they’re now as comfortably at home in them as are the fictional pub’s regulars who sometimes go behind the bar to pour their own drinks
One not-so-great thing: John Keating has made a wonderful career playing wild-haired oddballs in various Irish Rep productions and he's delightful again here but I’d love to see him get to show some other colors in his palette
